Cavan Sports Clinic

“While recovering from actuate ITP (a blood disorder) I found out I was a celiac and had severe deficiencies in vitamins and minerals and to make matters worse I was diagnosed with osteopenia onset of osteoporosis. Cillian gave me advice on nutrition and supplements to help with my health and well being and he put a plan in place for me which included strength sessions to strengthen my bones and prevent injury, as well as my program for bike, run, and swim sessions.

I had another dexa scan a year and a half after being diagnosed and even the radiographer was shocked at my dramatic improvement which removed me out of the danger zone.  I fully credit this to Cillian. His holistic approach had a big impact on my health and enabled me to participate and to be competitive in the sport again.” (Lanzarote Ironman 2017, The Race Donegal 2018, Ironman Cork 2019)

“Dressing in sportswear, for its actual purpose rather than for just cleaning the house, was an alien concept to me and so you have some indication as to where I was at in terms of sporting/fitness level …not comfortable in going to a gym when I signed up for one to one sessions with Cillian O’Reilly.

I benefited so much from Cillian’s role as a qualified Physio and S & C coach, I see the rewards now in my everyday life as my strength and mobility have improved vastly. I have no hesitation in recommending Cillian, and his future clients should consider themselves very fortunate to be under his tuition.”

“Cillian was my strength and conditioning physiotherapist for two seasons. During that time, Cillian’s strength and conditioning programme played a crucial role in allowing me to perform to my full potential and win medals at major international competitions.

His coaching resulted in measurable power improvements on the bike. In addition, the training provided ensured I remained injury-free throughout this time. Cillian’s training has also improved the range of motion in my ankle and my gait which has had a significantly positive impact on my quality of life. The level of support, comradery, and expertise provided by Cillian is exceptional and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

“I was referred to Cillian a number of years ago, initially to help address the impact of too much time sitting at a desk with the only exercise being a few runs each week. From the beginning, Cillian’s approach was very professional and honest with his experience fully evident all the time.

He is excellent at demonstrating exercises and ensuring the technique is correct, as well as varying sessions to ensure a full breadth of impact. What started out as a short-term course moved to regular twice-weekly sessions with a combination of group and one on one appointments. These sessions have ensured that I have much better mobility and movement as well as staying injury-free while running or cycling. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cillian and he delivers the highest standards possible with the utmost of professionalism and empathy.”

“I suffered multiple injuries – a punctured lung fractured 12 ribs, broke a collar bone and fractured my scapula. In addition, I suffered PTSD, after nine weeks I once again turned to Cillian who started me back on a new programme. My PTSD disappeared and within two weeks I was back on the bike. My goal was to be fit for my next trip to Gran Canaria, I endeavoured with his exercise programme which he updated for me every few weeks. Within no time I was improving my performance. For my trip abroad, I was once again well prepared for the various climbs and enjoyed my climb (24k; 5% – 16% Gradient) up “The Valley of Tears” to no end.

I believe the exercise programmes that Cillian had prescribed to be were critical to both my recoveries and I look forward to many future years on the bike thanks to Cillian’s expert guidance.”

“Over a three-year period, I attended weekly strength and conditioning classes with Cillian. With very little gym experience and no sporting background, attending strength and conditioning classes was daunting. From the very beginning, Cillian put me at ease and ensured that each session was tailored for my ability and experience. Throughout this period, I noticed significant improvements in my movement and strength overall.

Cillian’s passion for general health and well-being is evident in every session and he places a strong focus on teaching good technique and movement. Cillian is committed to helping you achieve your goals while ensuring long-term sustainable results.

I would highly recommend Cillian.”
